◎Daxi Village Ability People◎
Chapter 52
After listening to the village chief's story, Ying Huai saw that the person was waiting for a while and was about to cry after not hearing his answer, so Ying Huai hurriedly sent a message to the village chief.
[Just like before, I'll go find Tang Rufeng. He has some ideas.]
Ying Huai said this and sent the village chief to Tang Rufeng.
Now, when Ying Huai is sure that the village chief and others can arrange and handle the matter themselves, he still thinks about not taking on too much.
There is no imminent danger at the moment, and while the villagers of Daxi Village are not in danger of their lives, Ying Huai wants them to practice simple ways of dealing with the situation first.
Many of the events caused by the emergence of these mutated animals and plants seem very dangerous, but when they really face them, they will find that many of them can be handled by themselves.
Just like in Daxi Village now, many villagers have developed special abilities.
Although these abilities only appear for a short time and are not very powerful at the moment, they still have some advantages compared to other villagers who have no abilities.
It can provide more protection when facing mutated animals and plants.
On the premise that they already have the ability to protect themselves, they should go out and face those mutant animals and plants that are not very powerful at present.
After the village chief was sure that the direction that appeared in his mind was that his godmother asked him to go to find Tang Rufeng, he knew that his godmother was not going to take action this time.
Come to think of it, in a world like this, if they rely on their godmother for everything, how will they protect themselves if they leave the godmother's protection one day?
"Okay, Godmother, I'll go find Rufeng right away."
The village chief stepped back a little, said these words solemnly to Ying Huai, then turned and headed towards the Tang family.
There was a reason why Ying Huai asked him to find Tang Rufeng. Tang Rufeng had not returned to Daxi Village. Before the incident in his team, his role was to provide backup and he would not face any danger directly.
But he was involved in the formulation of many rescue plans, and most of the time he was even responsible for the command of their captain after he left the safe area and was in a dangerous area.
So now, when they discovered that there were mutant ants outside that had a dangerous index and would actively attack humans, it was normal for Ying Huai to ask the village chief to find Tang Rufeng for advice.
Although Tang Rufeng had never faced the rescue of mutated animals and plants after the revival of spiritual energy, his previous experience made it easy to deal with the mutated animals and plants in the early stage.
On the way, the village chief inevitably quickened his pace towards the Tang family because he thought of the dense bite marks on the young man's legs.
Although there are no dangerous mutant animals entering their village now, it is a pity that such dangerous mutant creatures are living nearby.
What if one day the children in their village want to go out and play, or take the wrong path and get into danger after leaving the village?
The village chief had all kinds of concerns in his mind, so when he sat opposite Tang Rufeng, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Village Chief, you don't have to be so anxious. Right now, those dangerous mutant plants and animals outside can't enter Daxi Village. This is our advantage."
After listening to the village chief's narration, Tang Rufeng glanced in the direction of his captain.
Because the distance was not far, Qingzhi jumped up lightly and appeared outside the Tang family's house, flying in the direction the village chief pointed.
Before, after Qingzhi went down the mountain to deal with those mutated animals and plants, he looked around when he came back up the mountain. At that time, there were no dangerous creatures on the mountain.
But in just a short time, as the spiritual energy in the world increased again, such a dangerous creature appeared again, leaving Captain Qing at a loss as to what to do.
My previous idea that I could be prepared after understanding the possible dangers was shattered.
In today's world, no one can guarantee that a place that was safe and accessible the day before will have dangerous creatures lurking there the next day.
It’s hard to say what these are. The best defense now may be to attack.
The correct thing to do is to find those creatures that have posed a threat to humans in the mountains in advance and eliminate them in advance.
Otherwise, with so many people in Daxi Village, if they don't deal with those mutated creatures, what if they grow longer and stronger over time and then gather together to attack Daxi Village?
By then, there will be fewer people with special abilities in Daxi Village than those mutant plants and animals, and their strength will not be as strong as theirs. Then they will have to rely on their godmother for protection? What's the difference between this and being a coward? It's so frustrating.
Surviving like this would not make them happy, but they would always be nervous and worried about the dangers surrounding them, and whether their godmother could withstand the attacks of those mutated animals and plants.
Qingzhi floated in the air and looked in the direction the village chief said, and soon saw large ants walking on a small mountain path that had obviously been opened up.
It seems that the main reason why these ants choose to stay on this road is that this road is safer, and many small animals with less strength will choose to pass by on this path.
It is normal for hunters to settle down in places where prey appear.
It’s quite surprising that the ants, which used to look for food everywhere, actually used their own collaborative ability after the mutation to start attacking and hunting those lively and mobile small animals.
The ants after the mutation are no longer normal. They used to eat everything, but now they want to try to eat anything as long as it has spiritual energy.
Even when Qingzhi, who was flying in the sky, landed on the ground and looked at them closely, several of the ants that were obviously stronger seemed to sense the place where spiritual energy was gathering, and looked in his direction several times, as if trying to determine his direction.
Although Captain Qingzhi has the spiritual energy shown by Tang Rufeng's ability, he still has more ghostly energy.
When Captain Qing realized that these ants were searching in his direction by some means, he used his ghost energy to cover up his spiritual energy. Only then did he see that they had lost their direction and were looking for suitable food around again.
Spiritual energy is their first food option, followed by flesh and blood. Plants are their last resort.
"The mutated ants are very vicious."
This was the first sentence Captain Qing said to Tang Rufeng and the village chief after he checked the mutant ants.
What he could say was still the same, not much, but with the increase in spiritual energy content for the third time, Tang Rufeng's ability was enhanced, and his strength was also enhanced.
Although I can't say much now, I can use ghost energy to control some small things, and the control time has been greatly increased.
Just like now, he was using his ghost energy to control what was in his hand, and began to write on paper with a pen to describe what he saw and observed.
This is more economical than narrating it yourself. Although it takes longer, it allows him to narrate clearly, which is better than anything else.
After Tang Rufeng finished reading what Captain Qingzhi wrote, he handed the paper to the village chief and motioned him to take a look.
"We really can't leave these ants here. Is there any way to kill them all?"
This was the first sentence the village chief said after he finished reading the information on the paper.
"It's definitely necessary to eliminate them, but what we need to consider now is whether we should find someone capable in the village, or go up the mountain and find the official personnel from the special rescue team that went to the upstream village."
Tang Rufeng unconsciously stroked the gray bean's furry little head with his fingers, watching it crunching on the biscuits, his brows full of thought and seriousness.
"But we can't be sure whether those officials who went up the mountain have come down!"
After all, there is more than one way down the mountain that passes through their Daxi Village.
The village chief said this with a look of distress between his brows.
"No, they will go down the same way they went up the mountain. After all, one of their reasons for going up the mountain was to open a road that would allow Daxi Village and the upstream villages to travel safely."
Tang Rufeng said this, looking out the window.
"It's a waste of effort to open another road down the mountain. The surrounding villages have already moved down the mountain. They opened so many roads, but not many people use them. Sooner or later, they will be abandoned.
Only by building a road connecting the two villages, allowing them to travel back and forth frequently, can their efforts be worthwhile."
After Tang Rufeng finished speaking, he shifted his gaze back and looked at the village chief opposite him with a serious expression.
"This is not a peaceful era. The way up and down the mountain should be the shortest way from the village to the town, but the most practical way."
"Indeed, there are only two villages on this mountain now: Daxi Village and Shangyou Village. As long as the mayor doesn't want the two villages to be completely isolated from the outside world, he will make such arrangements."
The village chief listened and nodded. He could think of these things normally, but he was confused by all the mess happening outside these days, so he didn't think about many things completely.
They are all slowly getting to know this completely different world. As an old man who usually doesn't read those imaginative things, he is a little slow to accept such unfamiliar new things.
He is not as good as the younger generation in the village like Tang Rufeng.
"It was a good decision to let you be a village cadre!"
It was rare that the village chief smiled slightly when he thought about what happened in the past.
"You told me not to get involved in outside affairs and just deal with documents..."
Tang Rufeng followed the village chief's words and thought about what the village chief had said before, and couldn't help but laugh.
Now look, not only does he still have a pile of unfinished documents from the village chief, but he also has to start dealing with external matters.
"You young people just have more active brains. I can't compare to you. In the future, I may not be able to keep up with the current development."
After the village chief answered, there was a hint of loss between his brows.
In a trance, I realized that in the future world, if we want Daxi Village to move in a good direction, choosing a person with ability and strength to truly preside over Daxi Village is the better choice for the villagers.
As a person who is obviously lagging behind the times, he is not suitable and cannot keep up with the world that is obviously moving forward.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I'm by your side and won't let anything happen to Daxi Village."
Seeing the village chief looking somewhat lost, Tang Rufeng comforted him.
"Let's not talk about this. Is there any way to go up the mountain now?"
The village chief came back to his senses from his thoughts and turned the topic back to the beginning.
"We can go up the mountain now, but we can't be sure whether there are any dangerous creatures on the way up the mountain."
Tang Rufeng nodded, then shook his head.
"For me, I can ask Captain Qing to help me go up the mountain without leaving home. But he can't be too far away from me now. My godmother didn't give me any leaves that can store abilities, and the last one has been used up."
As he spoke, Tang Rufeng took out the leaves that Ying Huai had given him last time. The leaves had become shriveled from their original jade-like appearance, and could only be used as bookmarks.
Well, the bookmark is too small.
Looking at Ye Zi's current condition, even the incompetent village chief could see that she was obviously useless.
I felt a little lost, but soon cheered up.
"There are other people in our village who have abilities. Let's go and see if we can find someone who can go up the mountain."
As the village chief spoke, he lowered his head, took out his mobile phone, and began to send messages to the village group, asking people with abilities to come to the Tang family.
He needs to ask those people in person what abilities they possess.
He hadn't thought about understanding it before because those abilities were of no use to him, and even if he understood them, they wouldn't have any impact on their lives.
Even because many people have weak abilities, even if there is an impact, the extent of the impact is not high, and at most it just makes their lives more convenient.
There are not many people like Tang Rufeng who are capable enough to handle affairs and launch attacks from a distance.
Right now, as long as Tang Rufeng can use his abilities to the fullest and doesn't consider the harm to his body, he can completely lead Captain Qing to deal with those mutant ants by himself.
But he couldn't, he couldn't let anything happen to his body.
Not only he himself understood this, but the village chief also knew it.
Tang Rufeng's health is of concern not only to his family, but also to Captain Qingzhi and his teammates, and even Ying Huai at the village entrance.
If something really goes wrong, it won't just be Tang Rufeng who is feeling uncomfortable who will be sad, but also the many people who care about him.
So when he was thinking of a solution, the first thing he did was to exclude himself.
The village chief acted quickly. After seeing the news, the villagers immediately responded. Those who saw it also shouted in the village so that those who did not see the message sent by the village chief would know about it.
After all, the villagers don’t play with their mobile phones all the time. Most of them are more accustomed to fiddling with their own things.
As for those who use their mobile phones to surf the Internet, except for those who still like to surf the Internet and never take their eyes off it, the rest put it aside. Apart from answering calls, they just look at it in the morning and evening.
Fortunately, there are not many capable people among the older generation in the village now, so the elders who were called out and heard the news took action on their own and headed towards the Tang family.
As for the younger generations who had already seen the news on their mobile phones, they had already set off in advance.
The only ones left were the children who didn't have any communication equipment and were so engrossed in playing that they didn't hear the villagers calling out to them.
Ying Huai felt helpless as he watched the little friends playing for a long time and showing no signs of curiosity about the sounds in the village.
After waiting for a long time and seeing that they really were not going to pay attention to the villagers' shouting, Ying Huai came forward and asked Shitou, who was playing with the children, to take a few capable children to his brother Rufeng's house.
Ying Huai's name suddenly popped up in his mind, and Shi Tou looked up in Ying Huai's direction in surprise.
"Godmother, what happened?"
Shitou tilted his head and asked Ying Huai, but he was not slow in his movements and quickly pulled the child Ying Huai pointed to aside.
"Shitou, what's wrong?"
Momo was originally helping Gangdian play with the little girls, but was pulled aside by Shitou.
"Well, my godmother said she has something to do. Wait, I'll find all the kids and then continue talking to you."
Shitou explained hurriedly and then went to pull the steel coins, Xiao Ling'er and others.
"Let's go, take the two little girls with us."
Shitou saw that he had brought along all the children that his godmother had mentioned, so he squatted down, picked up Shushu, turned around and led the children towards the Tang family.
"Brother Shitou, where are you guys going? Should we follow you?"
A little kid who was not pulled up was a little confused and felt a little aggrieved for being left behind, so he asked Shitou.
"We have something important to do. Brother Shitou is entrusting you with this. Please continue to play with the children until we come back!"
Shitou turned around holding a baby and spoke solemnly to the child behind him.
When the other party saw Shi Tou's look, he instantly felt a sense of responsibility, as if he had been appointed to a very important position. He nodded seriously to express his acceptance.
"Okay, Brother Shitou! Don't worry, when you come back, none of our kids will be missing! I'll be watching over them!"
Hearing such a solemn promise, Shitou nodded very seriously, and only after turning around did he breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to take them with him, but his godmother didn’t say anything just now, so he can’t take them!
We can only let them stay here by themselves.
Thinking of this, Shitou led the group away.
Everyone in the village with special abilities knew the news and later went straight to the Tang family.
Not surprisingly, there are not many capable elders, or even very few.
There were only Grandma Shitou and another old lady who could embroider.
Stone Grandma can communicate with the emotions of the plants on the mountain, while the old lady who embroiders is simpler, as she can make her embroidery skills appear in reality in a short period of time.
Flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even some embroidered tigers, pandas, figures, and static objects.
"My embroidery version of Ma Liang with the magic brush!" A young man couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he heard the grandmother describe the abilities she possessed.
"No, no, I can only do simple things now. I can't make anything more complicated through embroidery."
Hearing what the youngster said, the embroidery grandma pursed her lips and smiled, looking very happy.
She is very happy that she still has the ability to help others at such an old age.
"Yeah, yeah, grandma, I want to hug a panda. Can you embroider one for me someday?"
Chang An, who was listening nearby, went from being curious at first to now looking forward to it.
She has never held a giant panda, and can’t keep one now, but if the embroidery grandma can embroider one, then it would be nice to be able to hold one!!!
"Okay, okay, when I have time later, grandma will embroider it for you!"
Seeing the younger generations gathered around her looking at her with expectant eyes, Grandma Xiuhua nodded happily and agreed to the expectations of these children.
For her now, it is very simple to embroider something. After all, this is her ability, and it is not as difficult as before.
"Now let's talk to the village chief about your abilities and take note of them."
After agreeing to the task, she turned around and helped to put these young people in order.
"Okay, okay, grandma, we'll go to the front first."
After hearing her words, the young people nearby left.
The number of people who came this time was not as many as the entire village, but it was still quite a lot.
This was also the first time that the village chief knew that there were so many people with awakened abilities in their Daxi Village. If this were to be made known to the outside world, it would definitely cause a sensation.
There weren't so many people in the town. Just looking at the fact that the mayor had to wait for the official special rescue team to arrive before he dared to go up the mountain, it was clear that he hadn't found any reliable and useful people in the town.
But now, their Daxi Village actually has so many!!!
"Village Chief, I think we don't need to go up the mountain to find the official rescue team."
Tang Rufeng looked at the villagers who appeared in the yard, with surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that there would be so many people!
Normally he seldom goes out and doesn't interact with the villagers, but he does pay attention to the messages in the village group. He is even in the group created by the younger generation in the village, and few people have ever mentioned it.
In daily life, they don't seem to show it.
If it weren't for this incident, the village chief and he decided to count and record how many people in the village have abilities, it would not be certain that they would know.
The village chief's family has the most children in the village, and all of their children have special abilities.
Even Gangbi, who had not shown any movement before, was like this, but he himself didn't even know what his abilities were.
When Shitou was pulling him, he was pulling him according to the list given by Ying Huai.
Because he didn't know what Gangduan's ability was, the village chief had to draw a question mark after Gangduan's name and add it after he found out.
"Now that we have clearly counted your abilities, let's talk about why I asked you to come to my place today."
The village chief didn't say anything, but gestured to Tang Rufeng. Tang Rufeng hesitated for a moment, but still stood up.
Although he didn't like interacting with people, the village chief didn't say anything today, obviously wanting him to interact with the villagers.
I want him to gradually build up the trust of the villagers.
The village chief is thinking about the future.
Tang Rufeng knew that after hesitating, he still chose to accept it.
It's just that he hadn't had such contact with people for a long time, and suddenly seeing so many people in the yard and having to communicate with them, he still felt a little uncomfortable, but because Captain Qing was next to him, he still endured it.
When the villagers around heard what Tang Rufeng said, they gradually quieted down and listened to him.
Tang Rufeng simply repeated what the village chief had said to him today.
"...Now we need to find the nests of those mutant ants and clean them out."
After saying this, he looked at the group of people in front of him, wanting to see their opinions.
Unexpectedly, the people with special abilities in the village did not show any desire to retreat.
"Rufeng, don't worry about the arrangements. As long as we can do it, we will go. When I first discovered that I had this special ability, I thought clearly that there would definitely be things that would require my intervention in the future, and I have been mentally prepared for it."
Seeing his expression, one of them whispered and expressed his opinion on the spot.
The others listened to him and nodded.
After discovering their own abilities, they also knew that they would definitely have to face those mutated animals and plants in the future.
They are all people who can use mobile phones, read news and surf the Internet.
I already knew in my heart that when the world changes, humans and those mutated animals and plants will have abilities, and conflicts are inevitable. This is unavoidable.
